Rudolf Steiner was one of the most prolific orators and occultists of his era. Initially a contemporary of the Theosophical movement, he eventually founded Anthroposophy and split from his former path, with his students slowly translating his lectures into works such as this one.The first portion of this work mostly ruminates on antiquated human history and the development of human groups over time. The latter portion is mostly about the spiritual masters of each subsequent era or age initially envisioned by Blavatsky; from Zarathustra, through Gautama Buddha, and through Jesus. There is a definitive and significant inclusion of both personal and collective spiritual responsibility repeatedly referred to here, a sort of religious or spiritual extension, almost, of civic movements in the late 19th and early 20th century.
